From the research I have done, it should be 0 degree satin black, I am painting mine in the spring. If anyone has more info, please jump in.

I just finished mine. There are 2 ways to paint the grille. You can paint it all black or, if you like to do masking, you can mask off the outer portion which was silver and the slats black. I used SEM Landau black (a paint actually made for plastic) for the black portion and rallye wheel silver for the silver portion. The black has the perfect satin finish and the silver looks great also. If yo like I can take a photo of the grille and e-mail it.
